Costing Nature

Using D3 and the Leaflet.js API, I created an interactive map of data from the Global Forest Change (2000-2012) dataset developed at King’s College London by researcher Mark Mulligan. The map depicts a projection of land use change, or deforestation, from 2000 to the possible devastating future, in 2260.
This map was published as part of InfoAmazonia’s Co$ting Nature project and the gif animation of the map was widely shared via social media.
